This three-year, $398,405 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will fund Oregon State University's research into mechanistic investigation of metal sulfide electrodes for high-energy non-aqueous anion batteries. The grant supports fundamental research to elucidate the operation mechanism of a high-energy cathode reversibly converted between copper sulfide mixed with a lithium salt and a composite of cupric salt, copper monosulfide, and elemental sulfur. The research aims to establish synergistic selection rules for anion charge carriers and electrolytes to promote performance in this new battery chemistry employing light anions and inexpensive metal sulfides. It is expected that outcomes will advance understanding of solid-state ionics and electrochemical systems, with potential to enable more sustainable, earth-abundant battery technologies for electric vehicles and energy storage.
